I had 3 kids and we stayed in the family room and the stay was very nice, clean, staff friendly. The only down fall is there is only one price €15 for breakfast. 1 child had a croissant and this cost me €15
I think there should be a cheaper price for kids.

We had booked for 1 night in Ocean Sands but Enniscrone so beautiful & thankfully there was availability in the B&B next door where we could avail of the ocean Sands facilities so we checked in for a 2nd night..
Family gathering but unfortunately 2 couples with very tired & young children didn't get into their rooms till 6pm following an afternoon on the beach ...
Overall, v welcoming hotel,couldn't fault our stay & will definitely be back there.
Dog friendly which was a decider for some families.

Terrible service and grubby
This hotel has the potential to be fantastic but in my opinion it was the wirst hotel experience I've ever had anywhere in the world. I have nothing positive to say about our experience

Family Trip
Hotel is perfectly placed for the beach and exploring. Dinner in the restaurant was great and breakfast was brilliant with lots of variety. Staff were really helpful. Family room was really spacious and a comfortable quiet sleep. Beautiful hotel, however if you look too close, you'll see some parts could really do with a little bit of tlc. Overall a fabulous hotel.
